'One of our attorneys is a Jew': Kayla Moore's proof that Roy Moore is no anti-Semite

It was the final night of campaigning for Alabama’s U.S. Senate seat and all eyes were on Republican candidate Roy Moore. But Twitter, at least, focused more on his wife, Kayla, and her remarks before he spoke.

She didn’t say precisely why she felt a need to get into the subject of Jews. But it’s a good guess that it had something to do with her husband’s attack on billionaire liberal George Soros, who is Jewish and a regular target of far-right conservatives. Roy Moore has accused Soros, based on no evidence, of financing the registration of former felons to vote in Alabama.

Earlier in the campaign, Moore, who has been accused of sexual misconduct, attacked Soros for “pushing an agenda” that the candidate described as “sexual in nature.”

Moore did not explain what he meant by “sexual.” But he went on to say of Soros that “No matter how much money he’s got, he’s still going to the same place that people who don’t recognize God and morality and accept his salvation are going. And that’s not a good place.”

“People should vote for Roy based on this video of Kayla Moore alone,” tweeted a bemused observer. “She’s got spunk. The ‘one of our attorneys is a Jew’ line is said like maybe she knows it will be mocked, and doesn’t care.”

“Must’ve been written by @SethMacFarlane for a family guy episode,” tweeted another.

Actually, she covered a lot of ground disabusing people of any suggestions of bigotry in the heart of her husband. As for women, he supported her, Kayla, to head the Foundation for Moral Law, she said.

Blacks? He appointed the “very first black marshal” to the Alabama Supreme Court, she said. “We have many friends who are black …”
